"AMERICA FOR ME." 

***So it's home again, and home again, America for me ! 

My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be, 

In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars, 

Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of 

stars. 



I know that Europe's wonderful, yet something seems 
to lack. 

The past is too much with her, and the people looking 
back. 

But the glory of the Present is to make the future 

free — 
We love our land for what she is and what she is to be. 
Oh, it's home again, and home again, America for me ! 
I want a ship that's westward bound to plough the 

rolling sea. 
To the blessed Land of Room Enough beyond the ocean 

bars, 
Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of 

stars. 

— Henry Van Dyke. 



President Wilson, Address to Congress, July 10, 1919. 

•••Anxious men and women, leading; spirits of France, 
attended the celebration of the Fourth of July last year in 
Paris out of generous courtesy — with no heart for festiv- 
ity, little zest for hope. But they came away with some- 
thinK new at their hearts. They have themselves told us 
so. The mere sipht of our men — of their vipor, of the con- 
fidence that showed itself in every movement of their 
stalwart fipures and every turn of their swinging march, 
in their steady comprehending eyes and easy discipline, 
in the indomitable air that added spirit to everything they 
did — made every one who saw them that memorable day 
realize that something had happened that was much more 
than a mere incident in the fighting, something very dif- 
ferent from the mere arrival of fresh troops. 

.A great moral force had flung itself into the strug- 
gle. The tine physical force of those spirited men spoke 
of something more than bodily vigor. They carried the 
great ideals of a free people at their hearts and with that 
vision were unconquerable. Their very presence brought 
reassurance; their fighting made victory certain. 

They were recognized as crusaders, and as their 
thousands swelled into millions, their strength was seen 
to mean salvation. .And they were fit men to carry such 
a hope and make good the assurance it forecast. Finer 
men never went into battle; and their officers were worthy 
of them.

President Wilson, Address to Congress, April 2d, 1917. 



* * * The world must be made safe for democracy. 
Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of 
political liberty. We must have no selfish ends to serve. 
We desire no conquest, no dominion. We seek no indemni- 
ties for ourselves, no material compensation for the sac- 
rifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the 
champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satis- 
fied when those rights have been made as secure as the 
faith and freedom of nations can make them. 

* * * It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful 
people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of 
all wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balance, 
but the right is more precious than peace, and we shall 
fight for the things which we have always carried nearest 
our hearts, — for democracy, for the right of those who 
submit to authority to have a voice in their own govern- 
ments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a 
universal dominion of right by such a concert of free 
peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and 
make the world itself at last free. To such a task we 
can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that 
we are and everything that we have, with the pride of 
those who know that the day has come when America is 
privileged to spend her blood and her might for the prin- 
ciples that gave her birth and happiness and the peace 

which she has treasured. God helping her, she can do no 
other.

We may count upon each other. The nation is a 
sincle mind. It is servinn no private or single interest. 
Its own mind has been cleared and fortified by these days 
which bum the dross away. The light of a new convic- 
tion has penetrated to every class among us. We realize 
as we have never realized before that we are comrades 
ilependent upon one another, irresistible when united, 
powerless when divided, .-^nd so we join hands to lead 
the world to a new and better day.

There is, therefore, but one response possible from 
us: Force, Fori'c to the utmost, ^^)rce without stint or

rake right the law of the world, and cast every s'.;lfish 
dominion down in the dust.

Extract from Washington's Farewell Address to the 
People of the United States, Sept. 17, 1796. 



Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to polit- 
ical prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable 
supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of 
patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pil- 
lars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties 
of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with 
the pious man, ought to respect and cherish them. A vol- 
ume could not trace all their connections with private and 
public felicity. Let it simply be asked, where is the se- 
curity for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of 
religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instru- 
ments of investigation in Courts of justice ? And let us 
with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be 
maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded 
to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar 
structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect 
that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious 
principles. It is substantially true, that virtue or morality 
is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, 
indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of 
free government. Who, that is a sincere friend to it, can 
look with indifference upon attempts to shake the founda- 
tion of the fabric ?
